Nothing Ever Ends

[Verse 1] "And what is left," the scholar asked, "When gods have left the sky?" Only a world of broken stone, Where bleeding oceans dry. The mountains ripped, the valleys torn, By weapons made of light, The heavens pierced, the earth undone, In that primeval fight. [Verse 2] The wounds are wide, the cracks are deep, Where older powers fell to sleep... [Chorus] And so it bleeds, and so it bleeds, Through every open scar. The ancient blood of fallen powers, Beneath a dying star. Yes, now the magic weeps aloud, From deep within the stone, And not a soul can escape the power, That Myrthal calls its own. [Verse 3] Beside the deep and silent wounds, The first of mortals stayed. The beastfolk called it primal blood, The priests, a grace delayed. And generation after line, The scars began to breed, A dozen different kinds of kin, From one immortal seed. [Chorus] And so it bleeds, and so it bleeds, Through every open scar. The ancient blood of fallen powers, Beneath a dying star. Yes, now the magic weeps aloud, From deep within the stone, And not a soul can escape the power, That Myrthal calls its own. [Verse 4] The rulers build their golden thrones, Where broken land runs deep. The hunters seek the silver tombs, Where lost illusions sleep. They crave the wealth, they crave the steel, They crave the timeless art, But empires fall and nations drown, Inside a scar’s dark heart! [Outro] And so they march, and so they fall, To claim the ancient tears... But only shadows walk the halls, Through all the coming years. Yes, only shadows walk the scars... And no one left to hear.
